Now Austin had four subordinates who were at the Semi-holy Realm.
To be more specific, there were five of them, since the queen was also a Semi-holy Realm master.
Besides them, he had twenty two followers who were at the Primal Holy Realm.
Austin was well aware that the battle effectiveness and technical aspects of his army were quite lower when compared to the
Southern Alliances Army.
It had to be because there were nearly a dozen Holy Realm masters in the Southern Alliances Army.
On the other hand, none of Austin's men had even entered the Holy Realm.
Despite all that, Austin knew that he had a trump card—his demonic avatar. It could defeat a dozen masters even if they were at
the Holy Realm.
Hence, it was child's play for Austin to retake those small kingdoms which had been seized by the demon race. He could easily take
those kingdoms back, though they were guarded by tens of thousands of demons.
Meanwhile, there were many rumors which started spreading across like forest wildfire.
There was word on the street that Austin had taken back more than thirty kingdoms which had been occupied by demons.
All the human cultivators and demons on the South Continent had heard this.
Austin had becthe point of focus of the whole South Continent. Everyone seemed to be monitoring or keeping a tab on his
activities.
In the stronghold of the Southern Alliances Army, three elders were sitting in deep thought in a room.
"Well done, Austin! This is really good news.
Ha-ha! The boy is quite an amazing fellow.
Recently, the demon race had started gathering all their resources and fighters. They were planning to have a final battle against
us.
But now Austin has messed up their plan,"
Godwin, dressed in a white robe, exclaimed in delight, tapping the table.
"You're really lucky. You have such an excellent disciple, someone you can be proud of.
Now you can tell everyone that you're Austin's master," Julius and Peter said to the rapturous elder.

They were glad to hear the news. At the stime, they were slightly envious of Godwin.
But now everyone was happy to hear about Austin and his achievements. "Hmm! This brat rose to fovernight," Baldwin
murmured with a grim expression.
He was in his own room.
He knew that it was good news for the Southern Alliances Army that Austin had retaken so many kingdoms.
However, the more Austin achieved, the more envious and furious Baldwin was.
"Austin, this won't last long! I'll make you suffer one day," Baldwin declared through gritted teeth.
After being filled in on the news about Austin, Colin who was in the castellan's residence of the Trinary Star City smashed the table
into pieces. His face got distorted and sheer spite was evident in his eyes.
He led another group of people of Southern Alliances Army to the Trinary Star City.
And he was still the commander.
Though he had got his place back, he couldn't forget how Austin had embarrassed him. His resentment towards Austin increased
with each passing day.
In the Snow Kingdom near the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom, there was something else happening.
More than three hundred thousand demons were stationed in this country. The army placed there was one of the three main forces
from the Heaven Claimer tribe. The leader of this tribe was the one who planned to conquer the South Continent.
Dozens of strong demons sat in a huge tent. The tent was about a hundred meters high and several kilometers wide.
Since demons were quite taller than humans, the tables and chairs designed for them were larger than those made for mankind.
More than twenty demons sat at a gigantic table.
They were the ones who held high positions in the demon race.
"Guys, I'm sure all of you have heard that a human cultivator called Austin Lin and his troops have taken back thirty kingdoms from
us," a demon began the discussion.
With purple skin, he was more than four meters tall. He had a spiraled horn growing from his forehead which was half a meter long.
He sat in the middle, which meant he held the highest rank among the other demons in the tent.
"Hmm! | think we should dispatch an army to eliminate them.
Only then, we can teach these bastards a lesson. It will also be a warning for the rest of the human cultivators and kingdoms,"
another demon, who was six meters tall, snorted.
"Letfinish first, Adam!
I've heard that the cultivators whom Austin is leading aren't very strong.
There is information that he stays with a mysterious demon.
The demon is his helper. All the destruction is being done by the demon.
The five demon saints that we sent to attack the Trinary Star City were also killed by that demon.
If we could work out splan to deal with that mysterious demon then Austin and his men will not be a threat for us anymore!"
the leader, who had the purple horn, said slowly.
"A mysterious demon?"
The rest of them had confused looks on their faces.
"Why would a mysterious demon join hands and help those damn humans?
Has he been sent by our enemy—the Datura tribe?"
One of the demons made an assumption.
"I don't think so.
We found this place by chance, and it is our top secret. There is no way the members of the Datura tribe could have reached here,"
another demon retorted.
"We have done a good job by keeping the existence of the PrMartial World to ourselves. | don't think the members of the
Datura tribe know about this place.
But now that the demon sides with humans, he is our enemy.
So, I've planned to send someone strong to annihilate the demon who helps Austin,"
the demon who was in charge announced to the group.
"I volunteer to take up this mission.
I will knock that guy's brain out with my hammer,"
the demon called Adam said eagerly.

"lI don't think that's a good idea.
If that mysterious demon can defeat five demon saints, that means it has reached the Semi-emperor Realm.
So, we need to send someone, who is at that level. In that way, we can take care of Austin and the demon.
Letsee whom we can send on this mission.
| think it will be better to send two fighters, who are at the Semi-emperor Realm to get rid of both of them.
Two days later, we'll split our men into three groups. Then we will move ahead to attack the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom, the
Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom and the Elite Holy Kingdom at the stime.
This is going to be a decisive war between us and the Southern Alliances Army!"
The demon who was in charge discussed the plan with his subordinates.
Since their leader had already made a decision, none of them dared to raise an objection.
An hour later, two dark lights were seen departing the Snow Kingdom.
Those two dark lights gave off enormous evil aura.
Things were moving differently in the Jade Kingdom.
Austin took over the Jade Kingdom from the demons four hours ago.
It was the 38th kingdom that Austin had successfully taken back from the demon race.
All the enemies in the kingdom had been slaughtered.
Having got rid of the enemies, Austin took his men to the imperial capital city to have srest.
He knew that his men were exhausted after fighting against those demons for the last five days.
Hence, he ordered his men to rest for one complete day.
Lots of cultivators had joined Austin's side in the past few days.
Now Austin had more than 200, 000 followers.
And people started calling Austin and his team as the A.L. Army.
It was Clark and other cultivators’ idea. They named their team after Austin.
When Austin heard it, he also didn't oppose it. He was happy to have an army of his own which carried his name.
Soon, everyone in the South Continent got to know about the A.L. Army and its achievements.
